The cutter measures 9\/16 inches in diameter with a 15\/64 inch cutting width and mounts on a 1\/2 inch straight shank. Eight straight teeth provide clean, consistent slot profiles in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The bright uncoated finish is standard for general-purpose T-slot work where coating is not required. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this cutter in vertical milling machines and machining centers when cutting standard T-slot profiles to accept 1\/4 inch bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis T-slot cutter is suited for job shops, maintenance machining, and fixture fabrication where 1\/4 inch bolt-size T-slots are required. The M42 cobalt grade provides improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 high-speed steel, making it a practical choice for harder workpiece materials or applications where longer tool life between changes is a priority. The compact neck geometry at 0.2656 inches diameter and 35\/64 inch neck length provides the necessary clearance for full-depth slot engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt M42 grade construction for improved heat resistance and tool life versus standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 straight teeth for consistent T-slot profile cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9\/16 inch cutter diameter with 15\/64 inch cutting width for 1\/4 inch bolt-size T-slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.2656 inch neck diameter and 35\/64 inch neck length provide clearance for full slot depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch shank diameter for standard milling machine and machining center collets or holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous milling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard T-slot cutter for use in vertical milling machines and machining centers accepting a 1\/2 inch shank, for cutting T-slots sized for 1\/4 inch bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists in a milling machine or machining center with the spindle fully powered down and the machine in a safe lockout state before tool changes. Secure the 1\/2 inch shank in an appropriate collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Always rough the T-slot undercut in multiple passes at appropriate feed and speed for the workpiece material rather than attempting full-depth engagement in a single pass. Follow shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines for cutter installation and operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Material Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-19\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2656 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Teeth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeldon Flat\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoughing\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.007 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 33038\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694522237234,"sku":"33038","price":87.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3a7e7ad55545ba96c979a8ceec523f08.jpg?v=1788324991","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-33038-t-slot-cutter-9-16-in-cobalt-m42","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
